Medical Benefits Guide
Supporting Your Total Wellness
PPO Plan and HDHP Administered by AetnaCitadel continues to provide access to comprehensive, competitive medical coverage for you and your family. For 2024, you’ll have the choice of two medical plan options administered by Aetna: the PPO plan and the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). Enrolled participants may contact the Aetna Concierge Service at 800-544-5488 for more information related to these plans. |
PPO Plan: With the PPO plan, your paycheck contributions are higher than with the HDHP, but you pay less when you receive care. If you are enrolled in the PPO plan, you can use the FSA to pay for eligible healthcare expenses over the course of the year with pre-tax dollars.
HDHP: The HDHP offers the same comprehensive coverage for you and your family as the PPO plan, with lower paycheck contributions. The tradeoff is potentially higher costs due to higher annual deductibles and higher out-of pocket maximums.
Once you satisfy your deductible in the HDHP, you pay a percentage of the eligible healthcare charges (including prescription drugs) based on the chart on the following page, the plan pays the rest, until you reach your annual out-of-pocket maximum. After that, the plan pays 100% of eligible in-network medical and pharmacy expenses for the remainder of the year.
The HDHP comes with a Health Savings Account (HSA) that provides a tax-free way to help you pay for eligible out-of-pocket healthcare expenses—now or in the future.
Important Considerations When Electing to Receive Services from an Out-of-Network Provider For both the PPO plan and HDHP, the plan's approved covered charge for out-of-network services is a maximum of 400% of the Medicare-approved rate for any given service. If the approved charge the plan pays to an out-of-network provider does not cover the total cost for service the provider charges you, the provider may elect to "balance bill" you. This means that you may be responsible for the difference between the approved charge the plan pays and the total charge the out-of-network provider elects to bill you. This is not the case with in-network providers for both the PPO plan or HDHP. Innetwork providers have agreed to accept payment from the plan and the in-network provider may not "balance bill" you. Before receiving services from an out-of-network provider, we recommend contacting the Aetna Concierge Service at 800-544-5488 to determine what covered charges the plan will pay compared to the total cost the out-of-network provider will bill you. This will allow you to determine the amount that the plan will not cover and that the out-of-network provider will require you to pay out of pocket. |
